About Ultimate Survival Base All Weather Tarp

Ultimate Survival Base All Weather TarpThe Ultimate Survival Base All Weather Tarp is what campers, backpacker and hikers outdoors have been looking for. It is a single-person design which eliminates the need for a full-size tarp making it a lightweight, and compact tarp protecting you against sun and foul weather. You can also use it as a ground cloth or thermal blanket. On one side it is aluminized/reflective for thermal insulation and signaling and on the other side high-visibility orange. The Ultimate Survival Base All Weather Tarp weighs only 0.9 lb. The tarp is great to be used together with the UST Bug Tent for protection against the elements and many little critters. It includes the tarp, guy lines and steel stakes, and stuff sack for carrying components when not in use. So campers, backpacker and hikers here you go. Have a great time.

For minimalist protection from the elements where heavy rain is unlikely, this tarp offers a sturdy, lightweight alternative. The tarp is well made, and worked very well "cowboy camping" in the Sierra Nevada during a week long backpacking trip.

For its light weight & low cost, it might be well worth carrying while day-hiking as well for emergency protection.

(Caveat: I have not yet experienced heavy rain or high wind with this tarp, and cannot comment on its performance under those conditions.)

I was thinking of fording in half and making a makeshift hammock chair. My hubby is a tall and big man, could it support his weight (240lbs)?

Is it nylon? or plastic? or "space blanket" material?

It is a lightweight nylon type tarp material. Comes with some bulky guy lines and stakes. Overall a decent product. I replaced the guy lines with 5-50 cord and discarded the little sack they provide for storage.
It is a little small, but using two provides a packable and modular tarp or tent.
